Abstract : This article is devoted to the role and importance of onomatopoeia in
linguistics. This article explains onomatopoeia deeply with examples, how it
developed, it’s place in early language acquisition, cross-cultural differences and
most importantly how it plays a significant role in linguistics.
Key words: onomatopoeia, direct and indirect onomatopoeia, cross-cultural,
phonological context, phonetic, repetitive
Introduction:Onomatopoeia plays crucial role in linguistics. Firstly, what is
onomatopoeia itself? Actually, Onomatopoeia is a use of words or combinations of
words whose sounds produce an imitation of natural sound.For instance:
"And the great pines grown aghast" (Shelley)
The repetition of the sounds [g] and [r] is aimed at imitating the sounds of the
forest on a stormy night.
Methods of analyses : As everything has it’s own division and subdivisions
according to similar aspects and various characteristics, there are two varieties of
onomatopoeia: direct and indirect.
Direct onomatopoeia is contained in words that imitate natural sounds, as ding-
dang, bang, cuckoo, mew, ping-pong and the like. These words have different
degrees of imitative quality.
Onomatopoeia words can be used in a transferred meaning, as for
instance, ding-dong, which represents the sound of bell's rung continuously. E.g.:
ding-dong struggle.
More examples of such variety of onomatopoeia are the following. E.g.: to
croak - the direct meaning is to make a deep harsh sound (about frogs and ravens),
but in its transferred meaning it denotes a hoarse human voice. Its contextual
meaning may be: to protest dismally, to predict evil ("каркать" in Russian). Note
the following example: if that child doesn't stop whining, I'll drown it. In this
sentence "whining" is used as an onomatopoeic word and means "long-drawn
complaining cry or high-pitched sound made by a miserable dog
(uzbek: гингшимок)-
Indirect onomatopoeia is a combination of sounds the aim of which is to make
the sound of the utterance echo of its sense. It is sometimes called "echo-writing".
E.g.:
"And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain" (E. A. Poe)
Here repetition of the sound [s] produces the sound of the rustling of the
curtain.
Onomatopoeic words are divided into the following groups: 1. Words denoting
the sounds of movements: bang, boom, rustle, hum, crash, whip. 2. Words denoting
sounds appearing in the process of communication: babble, giggle, grumble,
murmur, whisper. 3.Sounds of animals, birds, insects: huzz, crackle, crow, hiss,
moo, mew, purr, roar. 4. The sound of water: splash. 5. The sound of metallic
things: clinc, tinkle etc.
